I appreciate the replies.

The enzyme angle is interesting. I had heard of such a thing but didn't know how it would apply.

As noted, though, it's pretty easy to make your own hootch if you have a productive yard and are so inclined.

In the big picture, the "waste" is not waste at all (except for my own labour I guess); it only feeds the coming generations of garden plants. If the soil is a little deeper and richer for my efforts, well, that's as fine a legacy as any.

Feeding a pig is a good idea. However, the feeding of large hounds is money out of pocket already. Surprise, surprise, dogs are more omnivorous than people recognize, and it's good for them.
